As the responses to the AIDS pandemic change
from emergency services to long-term care for those infected and affected
and as the responses by governments and international and local organizations
put greater emphasis on implementing country-owned, sustainable programs
to community becomes increasingly apparent. Growing demand for and recognition
of the importance of capacity building in HIV/AIDS work leads to a corresponding
need to ensure that capacity building is implemented effectively, efficiently,
and sustainably; however, consensus on capacity building indicators is
rare, and documentation of their impact is scarce.
